In the face of endless idle and even abandoned farmland, it is trying to protect farmland resources and ensure food supply by determining the bottom line (red line) of arable land that cannot be changed in use. The red line has landscape characteristics and functions, but there remain limited understandings of how to judge the dominant landscape characteristics of cultivated land. Therefore, this study divides landscape characteristics into aesthetic value and stability according to landscape pattern. A comprehensive evaluation system was developed to explore the dominant landscape features of the cultivated resources based on a multi-factor comprehensive evaluation. On this basis, this study conducts an empirical study in Donggang, a coastal city in China. The results show that cultivated land resources with high aesthetic value are distributed near cities, major roads, and important natural resources. The cultivated land resources with greater continuity and compatibility with adjacent plots are relatively stable, mainly paddy fields. The red line of cultivated land should focus on the characteristics of cultivated land stability. At the same time, the aesthetic value of cultivated land resources is also an important factor (related degree is 0.852). According to this evaluation system, the dominant area of arable land protection in Donggang City is 88,027.21hm2, which is the preferred area for the red line of arable land.

Con el fin de resolver el alto índice de vacancia o incluso el abandono de tierras de cultivo, en este trabajo se busca proteger los recursos de tierras cultivables y asegurar el suministro de comida al determinar el margen inferior (línea roja) del terreno apto para sembrar al cual no se le debe cambiar el uso. Para efectos de este estudio, se estableción la línea roja en 1800 millones de mu (cada mu corresponde a 1/15 de hectárea). La línea roja tiene funciones y características paisajísticas pero deben estar definidos los criterios de cómo juzgar las características dominantes paisajísticas de las tierras cultivadas. Además, en este estudio se dividen las características paisajísticas entre valores estéticos y de estabilidad de acuerdo con los patrones del paisaje. Se desarrolló un sistema amplio de evaluación para explorar las características dominantes del paisaje en los terrenos cultivados con base en la evaluación amplia multifactorial. Con base en este enunciado, este trabajo consiste en un estudio empírico en la ciudad costera de Donggang, China. Los resultados empíricos muestran que las tierras cultivadas cerca de las ciudades, carreteras principales y reservas naturales tienen un valor mayor estético, cerca de 85440 hm2, y que corresponden a un 81.80 % de las tierras cultivadas. Las tierras adyacentes cultivadas y las tierras altamente compatibles para el cultivo en las planicies tienen una alta estabilidad, y el tipo de paisaje dominante es el arrozal, con una área de unos 91682 hm2, que corresponde al 87.77 %. Los análisis de las características del paisaje con las ventajas compuestas de las tierras cultivadas muestra que el área de los recursos cultivados tanto con las ventajas estéticas y de estabilidad es de cerca de 82.653hm2, que corresponde al 79,13%. Este es el límite sugerido para establecer la línea roja de protección a la tierra cultivable.
